State withdraws charges against crocodile farmers

TWO CROCODILE farmers who were wrongfully arrested by the police and had their 52 crocodile skins confiscated have recovered their merchandise after the State withdrew charges against them.

Vimbai Dzingirai (31) and Duncan Andrew Wardly (99) were arrested and charged with contravening sections of the Parks and Wildlife Act.

The police then confiscated their crocodile skins without a search warrant, accusing the pair of not having a licence for the skins.
